Billy
Fury With The Tornados –
The
Sound Of Fury Radio Luxembourg Sessions
2
x CD, Compilation, UK, 2005
Castle
Music
For
hopeless fans only! The sound quality is dodgy at best, but
nevertheless important document on Billy Fury's life with the Joe
Meek's favorite instrumental band The Tornados. They backed the
golden suit one in the early 1960's and really the best album to hear
is We
Want Billy,
which is a pretty good live album. But beyond the sound quality, the
selection of songs here are top-notch. “Don't Leave Me This Way”
is a classic Fury tune, but he also does covers of Elvis' “Paralyzed”
and “I'm Left, You're Right, She's Gone” on disc 2 which focuses
on demos and early acetates.
Disc
one is from Radio Luxembourg and its a combination of his hits with
cool covers such as Hank Snow's “I'm Moving On.” And there is a
strong Elvis overtures on this package, which makes sense because he
was seen as Liverpool's answer to Preseley. So for the fanatics
only.
